Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cutting tool and a cutting insert for use in metal cutting processes in general, and for grooving and turning operations in particular.
- Cutting tools, cutting inserts, and insert holders in which they are retained for parting and grooving operations as disclosed in US 4,801,224, are typically small in width and subjected to single direction cutting forces. These cutting forces, produced as a result of axial direction machine feed, are transmitted through the insert tip and the forward section of the insert holder lower surface.
- US 6,086,291 discloses a cutting tool for parting, grooving, and turning operations where each clamping surface includes a second V-shaped feature.
- a ridge style feature of narrower wedge angle is introduced along the length of the male V-shaped surface of the insert holder, and a flute style feature of narrower wedge angle is introduced along the length of the female V-shaped surface of the insert.
- the insert and insert holder are manufactured such that when assembled, a small gap exists between the ridge and flute side surfaces.
- the wider obtuse angled V-shaped surfaces generally support the central main forces
- the narrower angled ridge and flute V-shaped surfaces generally support the transverse forces.
- the presence of a small gap between the ridge and flute side surfaces may give rise to an initial transverse movement of the insert of magnitude equal to the gap size at commencement of a turning operation.
- US 6,244,790 discloses a cutting tool for parting, grooving, and turning operations, introducing lower support surfaces with a series of intermeshing ridges and grooves of V-shaped profile, each with a common narrow wedge angle. This solution is aimed at providing increased stability of the insert within the insert holder against twisting, whilst, in theory, also reducing the risk of the insert lower surface splitting by providing a larger surface area for the clamping force to be distributed.
- Distribution of the clamping force over a large surface area requires successful mating of, and simultaneous contact between, the several ridge surfaces extending the entire longitudinal direction of the cutting insert, and the equal number of grooves extending along the entire longitudinal direction of the cutting insert pocket.
- a grooving and turning cutting tool comprising an insert holder with a holder head formed of a first material, and a cutting insert manufactured of a second harder material wherein the cutting insert is removably securable in the insert holder;

- the holder head comprising: an insert receiving slot opening out to a forward end of the insert holder, wherein the insert receiving slot includes upper and lower receiving slot surfaces sharing a common longitudinal direction, wherein the lower receiving slot surface comprises a first contact section adjacent a rear end thereof and a second contact section adjacent a front end thereof,
- clamping contact between a first of two generally V-shaped clamping surfaces of the cutting insert lower surface and the lower receiving slot surface occurs only at the first contact section
- clamping contact between a second of the two generally V-shaped clamping surfaces of the cutting insert lower surface and the lower receiving slot surface occurs only at the second contact section
- surface components of the second generally V-shaped clamping surfaces form an obtuse wedge angle ⁇ 2
- surface components of the first generally V-shaped clamping surfaces form a wedge angle ⁇ l, which is smaller than wedge angle ⁇ 2.
- an insert holder comprising: a holder head with an insert receiving slot opening out to a forward end of the insert holder, wherein the insert receiving slot includes upper and lower receiving slot surfaces sharing a common longitudinal direction; and upper and lower clamping portions formed on the upper and lower receiving slot surfaces respectively, wherein the lower clamping portion has two generally V- shaped clamping surfaces located at separate contact sections along the lower receiving slot surface; wherein: a first contact section is located adjacent a rear end of the lower receiving slot surface and a second contact section is located adjacent a front end of the lower receiving slot surface, wherein surface components of the generally V-shaped clamping surface at the second contact section form an obtuse wedge angle ⁇ 2 and surface components of the generally V-shaped clamping surface at the first contact section form a wedge angle ⁇ l, which is smaller than wedge angle ⁇ 2.
- a cutting insert comprising: upper and lower surfaces; a peripheral side surface extending between the upper and lower surfaces, the peripheral side surface comprising front and rear end surfaces with a longitudinal axis passing therebetween; peripheral edges formed at the intersection of the upper and lower surfaces with the peripheral side surface, wherein at least one portion of at least one of the peripheral edges comprises a cutting edge; and upper and lower clamping portions formed on the upper and lower surfaces respectively; wherein: at least one of the upper and lower clamping portions has more than one generally V-shaped clamping surface when viewed in cross-section; the surface components of the more than one generally V-shaped clamping surface form different wedge angles ⁇ l and ⁇ 2; and the more than one generally V-shaped clamping surface have different longitudinal lengths.

That is, the groove type V-shaped clamping surface 41 and the ridge type V-shaped clamping surface 40 may have different longitudinal lengths (i.e., lengths taken along the longitudinal axis Al), with the latter being shorter than the former. On the other hand, the groove type V-shaped clamping surface 41 and the ridge type V-shaped clamping surface 40 may have the same longitudinal lengths.
- the upper clamping portion 38 is comprised of a single ridge type V-shaped clamping surface 46, as shown in Fig. 9, with two surface components 47, 48 forming an internal wedge angle ⁇ 3, where ⁇ 3 is less than ⁇ 2.
- Upper and lower peripheral edges 49, 50 are formed at the intersection of the upper and lower surfaces 33, 34 with the peripheral side surface 35, where two cutting edges 51 are formed on the upper peripheral edge 49.
- the cutting insert 32 may have mirror symmetry about a major plane Pl, passing through the upper and lower surfaces 33, 34 and the longitudinal axis Al, and in addition mirror symmetry about a minor plane P2, which is perpendicular to Pl.
- V-shaped clamping surface is not restricted to a clamping surface with two surface planar components forming a 1 V shape and intersecting at a vertex point (when viewed in cross-section), but also accounts for a clamping surface with a curve or radius joining the two planar surface components, or a clamping surface with a secondary groove or ridge feature between the two planar surface components.
- an "internal angle” refers to an angle between two surface components of a member surface as measured internal to the member
- an “external angle” refers to an angle between two surface components of a member surface as measured external to the member.

- a fastening screw 79 positioned within the through bore 80 of the upper clamping jaw 60 and rotatable in a threaded bore 81 of the lower base jaw 61, maybe used to control the distance between the upper and lower receiving slot surfaces 55, 56, in order to clamp or release the cutting insert 32.
- the first stage requires confirmation that the distance between the upper and lower receiving slot surfaces 55, 56 is sufficient to accept the cutting insert 32. This may require an operator to rotate the fastening screw 79 in an anti-clockwise direction to allow the spring effect of the spring slot 59 to release the upper clamping jaw 60.
